Michigan woman burns boyfriend's buttocks

A 38-year-old Michigan woman set her boyfriend on fire and evaded authorities for ten months before she was captured in Texas.

WSBT South Bend: September 8, 2008: Dorothy Hamilton of Galesburg, Mich., admitted to pouring gasoline on her ex-boyfriend and throwing a lighter on him in 2006 following an argument. The victim suffered scarring of his buttocks.

Hamilton's ex-boyfriend reportedly suffered permanent disfigurement to his buttocks as a result of her actions. She was reportedly motivated to hurt him because he had not intervened when "another individual" looked at her in a sexual way, according to court documents.
